God decides who to give land to


A bedouin man is perched on the rock to the center left of the picture. Ancient people, including King David and his followers from Adullam cave would have been able to do these cliffs like monkeys.  Photo at Petra by Sim Kih


When the children of Israel headed for Edom and Moab, God warned them not to harass its inhabitants. He had given Edom to the descendants of Esau (Jacob's twin brother) and Moab to the descendants of Lot (Abraham's nephew).


All of earth belongs to God, and He gave it to the children of men. (Psalm 24:1; Psalm 115:16)

Scores of bedouin were hawking trinklets to tourists. This is scary picture, because nomadic peoples have been known to corner and kidnap tourists.
